Sulu, Warp 10...

Now I agree the shuttle accident was tragic but even more tragic is the stupidity of the news stations reporting the accident. CNN ran a banner that the shuttle was travelling at 18 times the speed of light during reentry. No wonder it broke up, it was travelling nearly 670 million MPH when it entered the earth's atmosphere. Also, the reporters asking if it could be a terrorist incident. Well, yeah, I guess so. If they've developed a SAM that can reach 40 miles up and hit something doing 12,000 MPH. Farther than anything in the US arsenal.
